Excerpt from American School Building Standards The present work is offered to the public in the belief that there is still great need for the dissemination of reliable information regarding correct design and construction in public school buildings in this country, and that "every little helps." The author makes no claim of originality for most of the matter contained in the work, unless it be as regards arrangement and selection. He has drawn freely upon all the well known modern works upon the subjects treated, modifying conclusions as experience and the most recent authorities approve. The controlling motive has been to so condense and standardize the best present day practice as to produce a compact handbook for ready reference, eliminating both the historical and purely aesthetic phases of the subject, for the sake of utility. The author acknowledges help received from, and opinions influenced by, publications of The Boston Schoolhouse Commission, Mr. Edmund M. Wheelright, Prof. A. D. F. Hamlin of Columbia University, Mr. Warren R. Briggs, Mr. M. C. Huyett, Prof. Rolla C. Carpenter of Cornell University, Prof. S. H. Wood-bridge of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. R. Clipston Sturgis, Mr. W. B. Ittner and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
